Is this a serious post?
Mate you got cold decked, you played it fine just try to run better. He's going broke with worse kings and as described he seems capable of bluffing. I would probably click the flop back to be honest because when you call he might shutdown on brick turns. You have to remember your hand is really underepped as well, don't worry about it, its hard not to get cold decked in a large field MTT.
Better luck next time.

A lot of these hands are going to be player dependent, eg the first hand with A8, I think your open is fine but without any info on the player we don't know how wide his calling range is here, tight players will never peel worse than our hand from the SB so if he's tight we need to be cautious post. I don't like checking back the turn tbh, a lot of people CB for pot control in these spots but I think it just puts us in really bad river spots, because when they lead the river we can get bluffed a lot/ they can be value betting worse and they might actually have a flopped set or 2 pair. The best thing to do in these spots is to bet the turn (vs a tight player or an average player they may c/r flop as a bluff but players don't c/r bluff turns and rivers other than the really good ones), so if we get raised on turn or river we can happilly fold, so after we bet the turn small we can check back the river for cheap showdown. Basically by betting the turn we keep the initiative and they are going to check to us 95% of the time on the river.
As you played however I think the rivers a fold, we have a bluff catcher and a hand that is easily dominated, loads of 2 pair combos have got there and if he had a gutshot OTF then he now has a straight or a pair and he won't be turning this into a bluff.
Ok now the Kings hand. Your 3bet pre is too small IMO, when 3betting from oop in comps I generally make it 2.5 the OR, so if he makes it 1600 I make it 4k as a minimum, if we have position then we can make it smaller but we don't so pump it up! Flop Q102 rainbow, this is where its really player dependent, if the guy isn't very good then you can go either way I think you can click it back to induce or just call call call. I don't think an average player is gonna show us qq here very often, 1010 is possible however sooooo many online players go ballistic with top pair that I'm probably never folding here. This might be bad but I think we're going to be winning loads. Ul in that hand.
46sooooooooooooooooted. Good shove ul, happy to shove up to 15 bigs with any suited connectors from HJ onwards.
A8 3bet shove is again very player dependent, if he's opening a lot then we should be happy shoving this, if he's not however just bin it and wait for a better spot.
A3ss I think this shove is good if the opener again is very wide but I'm not sure be interesting to here what other players say. BTW don't think its bad when you 3bet shove light and someone wakes up with a hand behind you, its the most frustrating thing ever and happened to me for like 3 months straight, its just variance. Hope I helped and didn't talk too much nonsense.

Probably a fold in live poker but its not an easy fold. Online vs aggro regs I'm very happy calling off A9 but its +EV because we're going to be winning/flipping a lot and sometimes we will have them crushed, but its an opportunity to knock out a good player (who we're never gonna have a big edge over) and have a huge stack.
If you think you have a decent edge on the field then theres no need to take a high variance flip, but at the same time you have to look at your table image now as players will shove lighter on you knowing your going to fold a bunch.
Open smaller and its tougher for people to shove, its hard to shove 60k if you opened to 4.2, if you get 3bet by said seemingly aggro player then you can shove. Its harder to get away from a pot when you've invested so much in it and think theres a good chance your winning so invest as small as possible to win as much as possible.
Also don't think about how many bigs your playing just remember what the effective stacks are.
Lastly if your getting shoved on loads then don't open an obvious position when players have reshoving stacks unless your going to call.
Ul anyway gl in future comps!!

Thanks Dan, Ul today.
A few of them on the table actually seemed to raise fold out of 20 bigs which made it slightly more complex. I dont like to raise fold out of 20 bigs personally but some situations kind of allow it.
Tbh the second hand I didn't really like it but it was very tough to find a good spot because everyone was so good.

2 Spots I had that I was hoping to get some peoples opinions on, I won't bother posting the outcomes of either because the results often change peoples opinions.
Hand 1
16 Players left, both tables full of very aggro and very good winning players. Blinds are 5-10k, Average is 350k and we are chip leader with a million. The table is tough, nearly every open has been 3bet and every button has been opened. 4bets are folded to but hasn't been too many of them.
Hero is in the BB with QJos. Action folds to the button who is playing 200k, he mins to 20k, SB folds. Hero? Guy has raised every button and lost a chunk too us earlier where we 5bet shoved on him but did not slow down at all.
Hand 2
11 Players left on same table, 2 hands ago, 3bet folded to a 4bet. Hero is now playing 550k and blinds are 10-20k. Folds to Hero on the button with A3 os. Hero raises to 40k, sb raises to 89k just having us covered. Action back on us, Hero?

Fist Pump Call It OFF!!
Like to call flop rather than raise but snapping if i raise and he shoves. Unless he's a solid 50-1 player expect to be ahead nearly all of the time, 2pairs or sets tend to set the tarp and check. Would imagine you will see worse Kings loads here along with a bunch of flush draws.

Definitely betting 285 and folding to a raise. Your bet sizing on river is very exploitable and agree Deadman might raise with worse as your hand can be AK and AA a bunch. You never have J10 with your river sizing IMO, as played I think we have to call because Deadman can go thin with 2 pair and made a small enough raise to fold to Villain 2's shove.
